Lin Hui shook her head and sighed, "Initially, we only said that Master Ningguogongfuda Lu Jingran was extremely arrogant, but today, it seems like he was forcefully taken in by the National Duke Ning Mistress … Back then, National Duke Ning was extremely anxious when he chose a concubine for National Duke Ning. After that concubine was given birth to Lu Jingran for a year, he had disappeared without a trace, and everyone said that she had died. From then on, Lu Jingran was naturally raised under the tutelage of National Duke Ning's wife, and National Duke Ning only thought that he could not conceive any more, so he treated Lu Jingran as if he was his own flesh and blood. "

"But who knew that after five years, Madame National Duke Ning had a child? Originally, he never thought he would have another child, but now that he has one, Madame National Duke Ning was extremely happy, and at that time, he became even more cold to Lu Jingran. Many people said that if Madam National Duke Ning was born with a daughter, there would be a chance for Lu Jingran to live on, but who would have known that after ten months, Madame National Duke Ning gave birth to a fat child …"

At that time, Lu Jingran was extremely well taught by the Old Duke and was praised by everyone. At that time, even the Old National Duke Ning had already requested for Lu Jingran to be conferred the title of County Prince … Sigh, when the National Duke Ning's daughter was born, before the full moon, the National Duke Ning's Lady immediately went past the Old National Duke Ning and asked the Empress Zhang to speak for the Emperor and settle down as the successor. From then on, she did not treat Lu Jingran well at all, and everyone said that the appearance of the National Duke Ning's Lady was a bit too unsightly … "

"Do you still remember what happened at Duke Chengan Palace? At that time, it was also probably the National Duke Ning that killed him, so in the end, he is still a pitiful person … I just don't understand, he is just a concubine, and is now a famous playboy in the capital. Now, he is already seventeen years old, and even before the marriage was decided, why does National Duke Ning's Madam want his life? "

Thinking about that pine like body, Lin Shu couldn't help but let out a sigh as well, "Who knows? But how many of the female patriarch's wives could accommodate a concubine? It is just for a good reputation, but with National Duke Ning and Elder Zhang supporting his, I believe they will not take any rumors or gossip of the outside world to heart. "

"How powerful is Mrs. Guo? The young master of Guo Family has been beaten up so badly by Lu Jingran that he can't even get out of bed, but the Mrs. Guo did not dare speak much when they met the National Duke Ning, afraid that they would anger the National Duke Ning Mistress. "

Even if it was that first class Honorable House, they would still split the power and influence of the National Duke Ning. It seemed like no one in the imperial court would be able to shake the power of the National Duke Ning Palace.

Lin Hui stuffed a piece of cake into her mouth and laughed, "If the Princess Rui Empress returns to the capital, that would be fun."

Princess Rui was the miss of Guo Family, and the young master who was beaten up was her youngest brother!

Lin Shu laughed, "You, ah, want the whole world to become chaotic!"

For someone as innocent as Lin Hui, when she saw that the palace head did not come down to order anything, First Princess Pingning did not bring up the matter of the Yin Qi anymore, and only thought that this matter was completely over, and that his mood had improved a lot as well.

However, the most frightening thing was that there was no movement on the surface.

Lin Shu also did not bring up these matters in front of her, as he did not want to make things difficult for her, "... I heard that the First Aunt doesn't even like the needlework rooms in the houses anymore. He spent a high price to ask the old embroidery lady who was born in the palace to make some clothes for you, and now he is bringing you around. I'm afraid that he wants to set down your marriage! "

Come to think of it, Lin Hui had almost reached her prime, and many young ladies of the aristocratic families had already set their marriage for themselves at the age of twelve or thirteen. It was First Madam who cared so much about Lin Jia that they married him long ago, in order to keep him by their side for a few more years … But now, it was time for Lin Hui to worry.

"I don't want to get married anymore. Look at my sister and Second Sister, although my sister has married into the First Princess Palace, she has to watch over First Princess Pingning's actions everyday. I heard that during this period of time, the First Princess Pingning has been trying to force his to accept a concubine, but it's just that he only has one Juan Niang under his knees right? My poor sister has been focusing all her attention on Juan Niang during this period of time. Afraid that her face would be scarred, I turned a blind eye on my brother-in-law's matter … Brother-in-law also doesn't have a backbone, he didn't dare contradict First Princess Pingning from the start, and said that the person who was chosen was more or less decided on. "

"There's also the Second Sister. She's not even married yet and she's already on the verge of death, waiting for her to marry into the Duke Andong Palace. How could the Duke Andong’s wife give her any face?" Looking at how Lin Qian was, even she could not stand to watch anymore. He did not even correct his identity, and was even wholeheartedly thinking about becoming a Crown Princess.

Lin Shu also did not know how to reply. In her previous life, her marriage to Lin Hui was not really that good, "Even the candidate for First Aunt has not been chosen yet, what are you so worried about? You still have First Aunt and Big Sis to worry about you, even Grandmother is extremely concerned about your marriage. "

"Grandmother? It's been a while since you went to pay respects to Grandmother, I'm afraid you don't know how sick she is right now. Once, when I went to pay respects to Grandmother, Grandmother even grabbed my hand and shouted "Sister Jia!" Although Lin Hui resented the fact that the Grand Madam was indifferent, she was a person with a sharp tongue and a rotten heart. She could not resent him even if she wanted to, "My mother said that Grandmother probably doesn't have many years left to live, and was afraid that once Grandmother died, my marriage would be delayed."

Saying that, she sighed. "When Grandmother was awake, she also asked my mother what my marriage plans were. She also said that she had already let down my big sister and repeatedly told my mother not to be careless when it came to my marriage …"

I can't hate it, I can't love it.

Lin Shu laughed and said: "You are, after all, the eldest daughter of the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, and at that time, the arranged marriage will be much better than the one in Second Sister.

She really wanted to ask Lin Hui if she still had some Yao in her heart, but she was afraid that Lin Hui had already forgotten about this matter. When she mentioned it, Lin Hui suddenly remembered. Fortunately, even Yao Yao knew his limits. He put half of his attention into his lessons, and directly said that he would need to fight for a High Scholar to return this year. It was about time for him to return to Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion.

Lin Hui could only sigh. She looked very unhappy, and after a while, she finally mentioned that in a few days, Lin Lian had set up a small banquet in the garden, and invited many ladies who were on good terms with her.

"Lian Jieer can already move around?" When Lin Shu saw Lin Hui nodding her head, she thought in her heart, it's better to say that she's about to die. Grand Madam's sickness is really severe, other than showing her no good expression, she treated the other young ladies a lot more kindly, "Which young ladies did you all invite?"

However, Grand Madam said that Lin Lian was her cousin after all, so he had to give her this face. Not only did he tell her to go over that day, he even ordered Lin Qian to be present at that time.

She began to count on her fingers to say the names of several young ladies, but Lin Shu only heard the name "Palace's Eldest Miss".

The big miss of the Duke Chengan Palace, Shao Xi, was Shao Shengping's concubine, and because the people of the Duke Chengan Palace were thin, Shao Xi was rather favoured by them. In their previous life, Shao Xi and Lin Lian had a very good relationship.

In her previous life, she was the one who married into the Duke Chengan Palace. After Lin Lian went to the Duke Chengan Palace a few times, the relationship between and Lin Lian became even better.

Right now, the two of them were like sisters … It seemed like in these two lifetimes, Lin Lian had worked hard to get married into the Duke Chengan Palace.

Lin Hui saw her in a daze, and was extremely dissatisfied, knocking against her arm, "Do you want to go or not?"

"I better not go!" Lin Shu is now living like a scholar, every day sshe would go to the Fanghua Garden to pay respects to her mother, and other times, he would be holed up in the Linglong Pavilion, "Back then, at the Lotus Banquet in the residence, the news of the matter between First Princess Pingning and I would probably spread, and I'm afraid that the Lian Jieer would not be willing to see me, even if I were to go there, the other people would not treat me well, so why would they bother looking for me?"

Lin Hui said with her head held high: "They dare? This is our house, how dare they put on airs at you? "No, you can go with me that day. You've been holed up in the house all day and you're about to get bad. When the time comes, I'll personally come and call for you. We'll go together!"

Lin Shu only avoided her, saying that they would talk about it when the time comes.

But who would have thought that on that day, Lin Hui would personally come early in the morning and pull her by the hand towards the little parlour.

It had been a long time since Lin Shu appeared in front of everyone, and now that she appeared, the entire hall of giggles had become absolutely silent, as all of their gazes landed on Lin Shu.

Everyone had thought that Lin Shu would be placed under house arrest even if she wasn't sent to the manor, but now they could tell that she was completely fine. She was even wearing the most popular moon-white veil.

Lin Lian's expression was unsightly to the extreme … She had gotten the permission of the Grand Madam to hold a banquet with much difficulty, why did Lin Shu come here?

Lin Shu and Lin Hui acted as if they did not see it, and sat down next to Lin Qian. Lin Qian did not bother to interact with these concubines, as it was just a formality, she had only sat down for a short while, and then used the chance to seduce them.

On the surface, they did not look too good, but just now, everyone was holding Lin Qian, but Lin Qian was still as arrogant as before, what was there to be proud about? But only Shao Xi sneered and said: "Lian Jieer, your family's sisters all have such big airs!"

Not only Lin Qian, but also Lin Shu and Lin Hui who were sitting by the side and whispering to each other.
